I applied for a job.......now I should get this job, because there is no other on the planet who wants it more, who can do it better. And...no one loves .........sf more than me.....and the population I would work with......those are my people. I have challenges.......and I have met every challenge and continued on.......
but kids, I'm not holding my breath.......I'm used to disappointment.
But I have made up my mind.....between now and say, 2 years from now, I'm leaving Tacoma. I have to go home.
I haven't been there since my mom died......5 years ago. I just have to go home.
So I hope you enjoy my song selection here........May your heart swell and rainbows float from your every word ........and I hope flowers grow everywhere your hair is now.......And this is why I sing Hotel California at every karaoke chance I get !!!

Sample of My Immense Talent !

Here's a little show of stuff I've made from recycled stuff.....this is why you see me a the thrifts all the time......and why I need so much stuff!

Let's Play eVintageSociety TAG !

This week on the eVintageSociety blog tag, We talk COLOUR or COLOR..... Christi tagged me from her blog - Kitsch-y-Cool Vintage

* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?

Purple !! Yes, the color of Queens......Queen --- the lady, not the borough or the band....
* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BRIGHTLY COLOURED PIECE IN YOUR INVENTORY?

Well I should say this Malcolm Starr that I had to dye purple.....
But I'm gonna go with this 50s RED gown..I love how the skirt is sooooo big !!


* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO ADD COLOUR TO AN OUTFIT?

If it's not warm outside, I always tie one on .... A Scarf that is ! I love a long fringey number...or if it's not scarf weather , then I''ll tie one on my purse straps.
Here's a bright one from The Vintage Peddler .....and it's a Vera!

* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR TO WEAR?

That totally depends on my mood and the weather...right now I'm wearing a lot of purple,lilac, lavender, with shades of blue and green....Pansies do it......Why not me ??

* WHAT COLOUR ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW?

I'm wearing a lot of black, which is truly my default base color......I just adore a black background print, especially anything with leaves..... and I have dozens of things with that motif.

* WHAT COLOURS DO YOU DECORATE WITH?

Back in Junior High, we had to make our Dream Bedroom in a shoebox. I chose beige carpet, walls and bedspread.....dreary huh? But I jazzed it up with print curtains, bright pillows, colored lamps, and lots of colorful accessories cut from Seventeen magazine. That's when I discovered my decorating schemes are called "Accented Neutral".....and that is my personality also!

Every room always has a leopard something.....The BEST print ever !!!

Volcano Wrong. Kevin Right er correct.

totally stolen from Erik. That pic. Since it's Pick on the Volcano Week......first blah blah said there is no men's boutique..... and that but for..." It’s fortunate men can loyally count on great designs from Tacoma’s own Daniel Blue. Although I still think it’s a shame there’s no local men’s boutique. Sorry, guys, head to Seattle or Target or the very rare urbanXchange find."
(UrbanXchange ..Hi Julie !!!)
WRONG ! (Hi Lisa....Love Ya!)
the kind and adorable Kevin is wearing What? Purchased Where? True, while Funk is technically not a men's boutique, we can supply you with 200 T shirts, 44 Shirts, assorted jackets and coats, vintage ties & shoes.....etc etc etc For the Man About Tacoma......and we've been doing that since the mid 90s' !!!! (starting at Rampart)

Why? Because Mr. Funkoma picks from here to there. So there.
And, yup, I have buyers come here from Seattle/Portland/VancouverBC, and buy buy buy for their shops !!!!
True !!!

I Rest My Case. (yes, I'll open again on the First Day of Spring!!!) (At Noon)
And I have seen way cool men's stuff at Pure, Junior Bizarre, Rector's, and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone......
